They do not call themselves African Americans but when speaking they say they are Jamaican. If they have to check one of those forms where there are three choices white, black and other they will check "other".

I get called racist if I call someone black. I get called racist if I call someone African American. What do you want me to call you? I mean, Japanese people don't get mad if I call them Japanese Americans, what's so wrong with this?

I would like to understand why people of color like to refer to themselves as "African American", I am white and my ancestors came from Europe, but we do not call ourselves "European American". Does the African American have special meaning for you, why?

Why do they refer to Black people as African American, and to people from Asia as Asian American, but they never call the white European Americans ? It doesn't mean the first two come from somewhere else, but the White are the Native, right ?
